In the autumn night, it was bitterly cold, and there were so many people fleeing along the way that there was not enough hay.

Daddy is a woman, weaker than a man, she didn't grab the hay, and finally came back dejected.

"Daddy, spread this thinner, enough for us to lie down." Jin Chu pushed the hay beside him.

Chu Li looked at Jin Chu and said with a smile: "It's still Jin Chu who is smart, and he has been carrying the grass on his back."

Jin Chu spread out the hay neatly, just enough for the two of them to lie down, Chu Li stacked her precious books together, blocking the wind on one side for Jin Chu, and lying on the other side.

"Daddy, I still feel cold." Jin Chu shrunk his shoulders.

"Jinchu is a child, and he can't stand the cold." Chu Li took off his coat and took out another piece of old clothes, all of which were covered on Jin Chu's body.

"Daddy, let's lean together and keep each other warm."

In fact, Jinchu's sense of smell is more sensitive than that of ordinary people, and the cold fragrance lingers in the nose, much like the smell of Sister Chang'e.

Chu Li shook his head: "Jin Chu, you must remember that men and women are not kissed." ”

"Oh." Jin Chu scratched his head in confusion, his father is obviously a woman.

The next day, Jin Chu told his father that he should hurry up early and lick the frost flowers all the way to quench his thirst.

The morning light was faint, with a little chill, and the faint sunlight sprinkled between Daddy's eyebrows and eyes, like a crumpled cloud, Chu Li said that she couldn't do such a behavior, and she didn't let Jin Chu do it.

"No matter how young Jinchu is, it is also a daughter's family, so you must pay attention to speech and behavior."

"But Daddy, we haven't gone out of the north yet, we have no food, and we still lack water, so if we don't starve to death like this, we will die of thirst."

"Don't panic at the beginning of the brocade." Chu Li touched Jin Chu's little head.

Jin Chu saw her father holding a kettle and collecting green frost along the way, and her eyes lit up, why didn't she think of this trick? Then I remembered that she was so poor that she didn't even have a kettle.

Jin Chu licked his dry lips, "Daddy, I'm thirsty." ”

Chu Li glanced at Jin Chu: "You can't drink it." ”

Jin Chu took the kettle and shook it, and asked puzzledly, "Daddy, there's a lot of water." ”

"Wait a little longer."

Chu Li continued to collect Qingshuang along the way, the two went all the way to the west, the accompanying crowd continued to stagger and gradually decreased, and when the sun came out completely, Qingshuang dispersed, and Chu Li also collected half a pot of frost water.

Jin Chu licked his dry lips and looked at her with crooked eyebrows: "Daddy, can you drink?" ”

Chu Li still shook his head, "There's no hurry." ”

Jin Chu held her mouth, she was a fish in her previous life, she couldn't hold back her thirst, and now she is so thirsty that her throat is smoking!

"But, Daddy, I'm thirsty......"

"You can't drink if you're thirsty!"

Jin Chu's eyes were red, she still thought that her father was a good person, why was this ruthless female father reluctant to give her saliva?

Black-hearted, deceiving children, fake daddy......

Just when Jinchu was complaining, Chu Li walked under a tree, took down the small pot on his back, skillfully set up a simple stove, broke off the dry and yellowed leaves, dipped a little water, and wiped the inside of the pot.

Then he picked up the dead branches and poured all the green frost he had collected into the pot.

"Daddy, boil water?" Jin Chu walked up to her and squatted down.

"Well, this frost melts and looks clear, in fact, there are a lot of impurities in it, Jin Chu is a child, he doesn't eat and drink well in the current famine, and his body is weak, so he should pay attention to it."

"That's why Daddy keeps not letting me drink water?"

Chu Li smiled slightly, "Will Jinchu burn the fire?"

"Yes!"

This is what Jinchu is used to doing in Wang Youjin's house, not only to light the fire, but also to do laundry, cook and take care of the children, and there are many things.

"Then you add firewood to the fire, and then call Daddy when the water is boiled."

Chu Li got up and walked a few zhang away, and began to collect thin and long hay, Jin Chu thought that his father was afraid of sleeping cold at night, so he picked and picked, and finally came over with hay, sat on the side and picked out the more resilient hay, lightly smashed it with a stone for a while, and began to weave.

Jin Chu watched her fingers fly up and down, indescribably flexible and beautiful, but it was not like a straw rope, and couldn't help but lean over curiously: "Daddy, what are you weaving?"

Chu Li glanced at Jin Chu, "Knit a pair of beautiful straw sandals for Jin Chu with open toes." ”

"Really?" Jin Chu shrunk his little feet, these shoes were already torn.

The water boiled, Chu Li said to let it dry, "Wait until your mouth is not hot before Jinchu, you can drink as much as you want." ”

"Well, I'll drink with Daddy!"

"Okay." Chu Li's eyebrows and eyes became vivid again.

Jin Chu held her cheeks with her little hands and watched her weave straw sandals for herself.

The straw sandals were quickly braided, and Chu Li made a delicate and beautiful little flower on both sides of the shoe.

"Daddy, what kind of flower is this?"

"Rich hibiscus flowers."

"Oh."

Jin Chu put on his shoes, fiddled with the flowers, and thought they were very good-looking, "Does Daddy make other flowers?"

"Yes."

"When Jinchu wears out these shoes, Daddy will make other flowers for Jinchu."

"Nope."

"Why?" Jin Chu pouted and was a little disappointed.

"Daddy hopes that Jinchu will be like a hibiscus flower and be rich for a lifetime."

Jin Chu grinned happily, it seemed that her father was really treating her well.

After the two drank the water, they each ate half of their nests and continued on their way.

"Daddy, how do you weave straw sandals?"

"Why don't I just weave straw sandals?" Chu Li brushed the broken hair of his sideburns behind his ears, and said with a smile: "I will have a lot." ”

Jin Chu's eyes were full of admiration: "Daddy is so powerful!" Who did you learn from?"

"With the book."

"Books?"

Chu Li took Jin Chu's little hand and smiled: "Rich families don't need to buy good land, there are thousands of bells in the book." There is no need to raise a hall to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book. Don't hate to go out with no one, there are many horses in the book. Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book. ”

"After Jin Chu, I will study hard, and I can learn a lot of things like my father."

"What is Yan Ruyu?"

Jin Chu scratched his head puzzled, hey, he just suffered the loss of not studying well, he knew that this was the case, and it was better not to doze off when Lao Xiucai taught her.

In the early morning of the next day, Jin Chu hung the kettle around his neck and collected the green frost all the way, while Chu Li took the small pot to collect it.

Finally, the frost water was boiled, a pot was filled, and the rest was drunk as best they could, so that they would not be thirsty for a short time.

In order to stagger with the crowd and get more food, Chu Li often took Jinchu on inaccessible paths.

"Jinchu, you are my lucky star." Chu Li picked two shriveled fruits from a tree and handed them to Jin Chu.

Jin Chu raised his eyes and looked at her: "Daddy, you are also Jin Chu's lucky star." ”

Chu Li patted Jin Chu's little head and handed her the last piece of nest head, "Eat, hold on a little longer, we can leave the north soon." ”

Jin Chu pinched the head of the nest, took a small bite, and while Chu Li didn't see it, he hid the head of the nest in the pocket of his clothes and patted it with his little hand.
